Begonias: Picotee

Picotee flowers sport a contrasting edge, as if a steady-handed artist with a red or pink marker had meticulously decorated each bloom. These tuberous begonias produce huge flowers and a stellar display when grouped together or when featured in mixed patio pot with asparagus ferns and variegated ivy. A neighbor’s front porch has paraded this trio for years, changing just the begonia color from one season to the next. Low maintenance, gorgeous and nobody on the street has tired of the look.
